It's a quality statue but from the onset the Sideshow Gambit just blew me away with how dynamic it was with the flowing leather coat and both portraits. The toothpick portrait is so damn good.
I've only seen the SSC Gambit in person, but I really like the looks of both. I think any X-men collector or Gambit fan can't lose on either of these great pieces.
Great video and intro. I have both coming and I’m still unsure how I feel because I’ll only be keeping one. I agree on all accounts with you on this video, I just really need to see more of SS Gambit. I feel like from what I’ve seen thus far from both, paint and sculpt seems to be better on XM but 🤷🏻♂️ and I’ve always loved this pose. Classy piece. Good stuff as always my man.
Lol what an intro! I remember really liking Gambit in the late 90's, that Cajun charm of his. Very nice piece and I do enjoy how Gambit was captured in it. Love the details.
I like the head with the shorter hair, it looks more like the comic gambit I know. Initially I thought it was a shame the kinetic effect came so close to his back until I saw it wasn't actually attached to his hand and I like that. I really like the pose and I love the jacket both create such movement. The statue literally jumps out. I love it.
I literally almost fell off my chair at that intro 😁 great video as always Mr. X, really enjoyed this one as it's close to home. I don't buy a ton of these cause of the price but I'm patiently awaiting for this one! Looks sooooo good, can't wait to see the pics with your other X-Men (no not this one). 😂
He looks amazing, cannot wait for him to arrive. I think SS will be amazing too. On a one hand the SS portrait is way better, on the other hand it takes a lot of space, some of the textures are very simple whilst I just do not like the base, even if it fits with Rogue’s base.
@@alexpelaez5883 Hey! Thanks for bringing those things X said 2 YEARS after this video was made. Really helpful you're finding these older comments and letting us know! I'm sure you're everyone's 'special' little helper! High five! Now go tell your mom what you did and get that cookie. You earned it champ
Really like this one. Lots of color/shading/texture and motion. And the base is not super massive like the Iceman piece was. Sometimes, I feel, like the base gets more attention than it should. Yeah it's important but it should compliment not compete. Also, a large base makes it hard to find a good spot to place some statues. This Gambit piece could easily fit into a collection.
Sideshow factory will have to absolutely nail it to beat this one. I actually like both XM and Sideshow a lot. If Sideshow can get close to the prototype, I am going Sideshow. Just because I love that EX portrait. But XM has really exceeded the prototype on this one. So very good job XM! 👏🏼
Ive got the Sideshow Gambit on order to go with sideshows Rogue, X23, Magneto and Wolverine, looks awesome just like your Xm Gambit, i don't think you can go wrong no matter which route you go down. Looks awesome buddy
I like the sideshow one better, the face, the presence and the dynamic pose; it feels like i'm really seeing Gambit in accion!!! But some of the details of the XM studios are way better, the coat, the headband thingy, the colors and some details of the suit, the color of the wave and some minor ditails more...
This piece is pretty awesome. The paint and sculpt are top shelf. The textures to the shading and no mixed media with such a dynamic pose. That being said im not the biggest fan of the portraits think sideshows is much better. Also the price with shipping is a little crazy. Hard to say which is better i like things about both. Always hard to judge from pictures. Great addition to the collection.
I love the intro... I have the SS Gambit on order. With the the long hair portrait, he looks like Steven Tyler. I do think the SS Gambit will edge out the XM one.
Bwahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣no you didn't!!!! "No not this XMAN" GREAT video, this Gambit piece to me is really dope. Love the wash on it , it's gritty and like Gambit he's gritty.
Interestingly i find Sideshow’s better for the first time, at least from the prototype pics. So i will wait for that and then decide. Ex portrait of SS is def the best one imo.
It's a great looking statue but I overall I prefer the SS version, more dynamic pose and superior portraits. I agree about the dancing, shades of something Flatleyesque 8-)
The Exclusive version of Sideshow’s Gambit is the better portrait in my opinion. But the dimensions in depth on him makes him too hard to display. I love the footprint on the XM piece, but the price point is a bit too high. Can’t wait to see a side by side comparison!
Nice Gambit statue. Yeah maybe a translucent kinetic powers would be better just to lessen alot of the sculpted pink to have some light contrast colors to separate most of the sculpted colors the statue has, but the entire statue looks nice cool. The classic portrait look with his smirk and head gear bandana is the way to display him like he would in the comics and in the '90's X-Men animated series. But i have to say the Sideshow Gambit looks way better the dynamic attack X-treme pose is where it's at.
I think this piece is incredible. I don’t think Sideshow will beat it, however SS will be a very close second. So if I had to choose, it would be Sideshow due to price.
"No... not this X MAN..." HAHAHA oh gosh I love these intros. Thanks for sharing this piece Mr. X and congrats
I came down here to call out that joke. lmfao he's really getting the hang of this
It's a quality statue but from the onset the Sideshow Gambit just blew me away with how dynamic it was with the flowing leather coat and both portraits. The toothpick portrait is so damn good.
Gambit is a great chacacter. Dude deserves more attention from Marvel.
Even tho this piece is WICKED! I don't like the portraits at all, that's where Sideshow NAILED it.
They've captured both of those facesculpts brilliantly😍🤩
I've only seen the SSC Gambit in person, but I really like the looks of both. I think any X-men collector or Gambit fan can't lose on either of these great pieces.

Liked for the ex-man joke. Well done.
Do you think Michelle Obama would be a ex- man?
@@25ehn holy shit how transphobic can you people get? and no, Michelle is not trans
Lol what an intro! I remember really liking Gambit in the late 90's, that Cajun charm of his. Very nice piece and I do enjoy how Gambit was captured in it. Love the details.
XM are “the man” when it comes to statues. Very rare that I don’t love one of their pieces.
I think it's better than SS one. Love the pose a lot
Got my Gambit statue Monday, I love this piece! That said, Sideshows Gambit might give this a run for its money!
Gambit has always been one of my favorite marvel characters
How do people not think it looks like he is throwing the cards......he literally does this pose in so many comics and even in the cartoon!
Gambit is my favorite X-Men. I gotta give it to the Sideshow piece, just looks better imo and the price makes it a better value.
I like the head with the shorter hair, it looks more like the comic gambit I know. Initially I thought it was a shame the kinetic effect came so close to his back until I saw it wasn't actually attached to his hand and I like that.

Gambit seriously do be looking dope
Now if they can give us. Rogue to go with him. It looks great.
Richard DeFusco They are working on a Rogue statue🤗
Incredible paint and sculpt!! Love the kinetic energy switch out, would definitely go with that one as well
Loved the intro. I was on the edge of my seat to know what you were talking about...
I literally almost fell off my chair at that intro 😁 great video as always Mr. X, really enjoyed this one as it's close to home. I don't buy a ton of these cause of the price but I'm patiently awaiting for this one! Looks sooooo good, can't wait to see the pics with your other X-Men (no not this one). 😂
The bonus that sideshow piece has is i think the colors match better with their rogue. Both are still amazing though
FINALLY :) my statue is in your collection :) so happy for you so cool
Belt shows the insane attention to detail
Lov Gambit as he's always been my fave X-men character
Lmao the opening killed me. Gambit is my favorite of the x-men
One of my favourites X-men
I'm definitely go all-in for that piece.
XM GAMBIT looking dope!!
Love the ADS
Not really an X-men fan but Wolverine and gambit have always been cool
He looks amazing, cannot wait for him to arrive. I think SS will be amazing too. On a one hand the SS portrait is way better, on the other hand it takes a lot of space, some of the textures are very simple whilst I just do not like the base, even if it fits with Rogue’s base.
Always got to love the card effects
He was always my favourite in the cartoon.
Intro - 😳
This Gambit is awesome.
this piece is just so awesome, been looking forward to see this review
Awesome piece.. can't wait for mine to arrive..
That Gambit looks amazing
Regret didn't get to PO this much earlier. Great review!
Grats X. This Gambit turned out amazing. Both Portraits turned out great. I actually like the switch-out where he's holding the one card the most

Cool statue gambit is my favorite xman
Gambit is my favorite! I'm getting the Sideshow piece but this XM is magnificent too.

Looks great! I normally don't collect X-Men but this one is tempting me.
love gambit very underused in collector market and media
An intense intro as always. PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT
Super amazing piece Mr.X. congrats man
Beautiful piece Mr. X. Gambit is one of my favorites, and dangs is this a great looking figure that captures the character really well
Sideshow factory will have to absolutely nail it to beat this one. I actually like both XM and Sideshow a lot. If Sideshow can get close to the prototype, I am going Sideshow. Just because I love that EX portrait. But XM has really exceeded the prototype on this one. So very good job XM! 👏🏼
🤣 that intros lit. Love gambit btw awesome statue!
Killed this intro !!!!
I just got mine yesterday and my mind is blown away how good it looks. I love the poster that comes with it also. Framed it next to gambit. 😃😃🥳🥳🥳
I can’t wait for the Sideshow Gambit Mon Ami👌🏻
What a beautiful statue! I've been eyeing Sideshows since it'll go with the Rogue and X-23
Gambit is awesome, one of my favourites X-men
Love this piece. Great addition!
Fantastic statue, excellent Gambit. I like the smile on the face with the sorter hair. Amazing. Keep up.
This is a nice piece, but I think the Sideshow one has the cooler dynamic pose, energy effect and better head sculpt.
Gambit is such a cool character!
Ive got the Sideshow Gambit on order to go with sideshows Rogue, X23, Magneto and Wolverine, looks awesome just like your Xm Gambit, i don't think you can go wrong no matter which route you go down. Looks awesome buddy
Great Gambit ,still waiting for mine to come in!
I REALLY LIKE THIS GAMBIT WELL DONE TO XM
Very cool piece. Gambit is an awesome character and they did him well
Lmao!!! Nice Bruce dig! Thanks for the video sir. Gambit has always been underrated!
That's a kick ass Gambit
I like the sideshow one better, the face, the presence and the dynamic pose; it feels like i'm really seeing Gambit in accion!!!
But some of the details of the XM studios are way better, the coat, the headband thingy, the colors and some details of the suit, the color of the wave and some minor ditails more...
Intro was on point
This piece is pretty awesome. The paint and sculpt are top shelf. The textures to the shading and no mixed media with such a dynamic pose.

Always hard to judge from pictures. Great addition to the collection.
I'm not a huge Gambit fan but this statue is definitely balling. Iam still waiting on Sideshow or XM to announce a Nightcrawler.
I love the intro... I have the SS Gambit on order. With the the long hair portrait, he looks like Steven Tyler. I do think the SS Gambit will edge out the XM one.
Bwahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣no you didn't!!!! "No not this XMAN" GREAT video, this Gambit piece to me is really dope. Love the wash on it , it's gritty and like Gambit he's gritty.
"Every man has a price to charge and a price to pay."
Really like the piece but I wish the kinetic energy effect was a more translucent pink.
Super killer bud!! Keep up these videos! New fan and I love seeing all this cool stuff.
Its a very nice piece, i can see why your excited! “Thats what she said”
@SF5ftw And?
Waiting for the sideshow one myself, I always expect XM to be better, but I also expect sideshow to be better pr $ you pay.
Great piece!
That fcuking smirk at X Man 😂😂😂😂😂
Interestingly i find Sideshow’s better for the first time, at least from the prototype pics. So i will wait for that and then decide. Ex portrait of SS is def the best one imo.
Loved it great to see a different character
Love it !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Love it thanks Mr X
It's awesome, doesn't take up much space which is nice.
The not this X men joke was awesome and so was the statue. Well done Sir.

Yeah maybe a translucent kinetic powers would be better just to lessen alot of the sculpted pink to have some light contrast colors to separate most of the sculpted colors the statue has, but the entire statue looks nice cool.

But i have to say the Sideshow Gambit looks way better the dynamic attack X-treme pose is where it's at.
pretty cool Gambit!
Glad yo like this piece, i also purchase the XM, and was debating switching to sideshow.
I love this piece but there's no chance in hell this looks better than Sideshow. 🤷♂️Maybe I'm wrong.
Think you are all right here, Sideshows are a better version! 👍🏻
Just got my xm gambit statue and I love it. Can’t wait to get my ss gambit too.
Fantastic looking piece. Maybe someday lol
Love this gambit peice 👍
This is cool but I definitely prefer sideshows, especially when it comes to the portraits
Base on this one is better but SS gambit pose looks so much more alive. Tough choice tbh
Very cool Gambit
""Don" you all leave now, the fun just started!"... damn, this pineapple trail mix taste like it has laundry detergent in it.
I think this piece is incredible. I don’t think Sideshow will beat it, however SS will be a very close second. So if I had to choose, it would be Sideshow due to price.
Big fan of Gambit! Very well done piece! Surprised me, I don’t think SS will beat this one!
Thanks for the review
Very cool looking piece, undecided on what I prefer XM or SS
